Ingredients

Recipe Directions

1. Place all mashed potato ingredients into a food processor.

2. Process until creamy and smooth, similar in texture to the attached pictures. (Although you may be tempted to do so, do not add any additional liquid other than the 2 tablespoons of water. Also, if it seems difficult to process at the beginning, you may need to stop and scrape the sides a few times to help get it started.)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

A dollop of raw mashed "potatoes" on your plate turns an everyday meal into a festive feast! And, yes, that's cauliflower masquerading as potatoes since eating raw potatoes is a no-no. :)

This is a simple cauliflower-based mashed potato recipe that adds a nice heartiness to a fresh meal.

Use these raw mashed 'taters as part of a holiday feast or just treat yourself with a nice hearty serving of mashed potatoes for a fun weeknight dinner. I recently enjoyed these mashed cauliflower-based "potatoes" with a large green salad and traditional style corn (just chop some raw corn off a cob and you've got a side-serving of corn)--served all on one plate I felt like I was at Grandma's -- raw style of course!

My contribution to the traditional Thanksgiving meal this year was raw mashed "rootatoes" using Jicama and Turnips. Turned out yummy. Could have been a bit creamier if I had a food processor handy. Blender had to do.

Tried this one tonight but the garlic ruined it for me :( too overpowering!! However, not deterred as the texture was great so I will give it another go very soon without the garlic. It wasn't wasted though as my labrador and chicken thought it was fantastic....lol

I already wrote my loving review, but I do have one note after making it several times in the past month: the garlic gets really pungent/bitey if you have leftovers a day or two later. Since I'm cooking for one I may omit the garlic next time, but I'm torn about that because I love garlic and it's great in the first round.

This is absolutely AMAZING! I read the reviews prior to making it and was a bit afraid that it wouldn't be so good due to a few strong dislikes, but... Omg, I'm glad I heard my heart and went on with it. It's just heavenly! It became one my fav recipes for a side dish! I eat it with a iceberg lettuce & sprouts salad, tomatoes, onions and chopped dried cranberries... Served with native olive oil & creamy balsamic... Thank you so much!
I think that maybe the quality of the cauliflower can influence a lot. I bought an organic cauliflower (quite a big one) and the flavour was really mild,whereas in the past I have bought cauliflowers with a stronger taste. Perhaps adding more cashews and some kohlrabi could milder it up if one has a stronger tasting cauliflower!

In my neck of the woods (Victoria, BC) we have a little shop where you can buy wee amounts of flavour infused olive oil and balsamic. I had the "potatoes" with a wild mushroom & sage oil and fig balsamic vinegar. I just about fell over - so yummy! Thanks for the olive oil suggestion

Jeannine, That sounds like a great idea! My friend and I added black pepper when we made ours, but I'm gonna try some fancy oil and vinegar next time. Sadly, my local shop doesn't have the option to buy wee amounts -- just big, expensive bottles, but they're worth it.

I was so impressed with the texture of the cauliflower. It looked to me like it'd be gritty or something when we'd processed them, but to my delight they were soft and fluffy like mashed "potatoes" should be!
